The Sleeveless Trench Coat, A Minimalist Wardrobe Staple

When creating a minimalist wardrobe, you want to add pieces that you can just grab and wear with everything. The sleeveless trench coat is just that. You can layer it over dresses. Or pair it with a jumpsuit. Wear it with a tank top and jeans. Or pants. The piece even transcends seasons. Wear it with turtlenecks and boots in the colder months. The options are endless.

The key is to get your sleeveless trench coat in a neutral color. Like black, cream, grey, camel, or a pale blue like the one I’m wearing. I never really thought of this shade as a neutral but it goes with absolutely everything. I also have a few pair of shoes that matches, so that definitely helps when creating outfits. Bonus tip- a sleeveless trench helps to hide that scandalous after work dress. See my face? I’m going to get into some trouble…

I kid, I’m a good girl 😉 I absolutely love my sleeveless trench coat and wish I had more colors. But since I’m trying to maintain a minimalist wardrobe, that would probably defeat the purpose. The old me would probably have at least 3 lol.

When I’m not hunting down the latest and greatest beauty products, beating a face or lacing a do, you can find me roaming the streets of NYC in my stilettos looking for the next best restaurant. Or in the kitchen trying to outdo myself from the last time.
